New Designer 1.134 available

[Jeff_Birt]

I understand that a new version of 1.134 is now available (or will be very shortly). This takes care of the PE crashing problem and few other issues that were found recently.

Please note: They did not want to hold the release up any more waiting for the phone lines in that area to be repaired. The phones are still down so you will have to email them with any questions. Or you could post here as well.

As I said in another similar post, I am going to be a bit of a coward and let you guys test this thing for a week or two before I upgrade. I remember what it was like when Microsoft came out with Vista!! I learned my lesson then; wait for the final verdict!!

Now I can get back to work.

Have you tried using the eraser feature

As as been stated numerous times already. You need to set the erase level. Erase will erase down to any level you choose including all the way gone (Level = 0).

The File menu has changed a bit. You can't do a File->Load for an image type, You need to use the File->Import.

Hi Jeff,
Question for ya, I read this in the software update text file:

25 Feb 2009 -- Differences between versions 1.133 and 1.132
* Added support for CarveWright Racing: Dragster Series (additional license required)

Does this mean you can get this software to import an stl file format by purchasing the license?

Thanks,
Jim

As Jeff_Birt has stated, the level must be set to "0" for a full background erase.
This is a great feature, actualy, because it lets you erase to any level/height you desire. You can also "Paint" at any level in the same manner.

Also know that by using the "magic wand" you can capture certain colors/levels and then "Raise/Lower" them by using the "Raise/Lower" icon.
The PE is a powerfull tool if you just experiment with it for a while.

Any one have a comment on this question? I too would like to know what the Dragster Series is.

The STL import is still in testing. I don't know when it will be available yet.

I called the local dealer for pricing, waiting on his responce. But looks like this could be used for more than dragster carving.. And the STL import alone will be great. I have 200+ STL patterns that I'm slowly converting to PNG format.

It's only available to educators at this point, This is what I was told by CW which I think is completely unfair

Perhaps "Home School" status would apply.
